DELAWARE RUMORS & GOSSIP

NEWARK, Del. (March 18, 2015)-The host Delaware Blue Hens broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth inning to score the game's lone run in a 1-0 non-conference victory over Morgan State in Game 1 of a doubleheader at UD Softball Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

If you just look at his stat line, Delaware tight end Nick Boyle is not that impressive. During his four years with the Blue Hens he caught 101 passes for just under 1000 yards and 12 touchdowns. While he may not have produced much what scouts are going to take away from the Senior Bowl is that the 6'4" 265-pounder is pretty darn athletic.Ask any QB in the NFL if they would like...

The sight of Joe Flacco celebrating remains lodged deep in the craw of Bloomington resident Jeff McGaster.

Thanks Reed and Justin for taking care of most of the post-mortem. Two days later that just leaves the final clean-up to me.
Mid-way through the 3d quarter I was talking with another guy in the press box. We were half-joking, wondering what Pitt fans were going to be complaining about after the game — other than whether Boyd should have been returning punts. Considering the complete...
